Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Replacing Outer Axle Stub?


Jan 15, 2008

I think I ran a wheel bearing dry on the front end of my 2001 Ford Excursion. Do I need to replace the outer axle stub when I replace the hub/bearing assembly? Where's the least expensive place to buy one?

I think this has the Dana 50.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2003 Excursion - Outer Axle Seal Installment

Do I need a special tool to put the outer axle seal on a 2003 excursion? I could make one if I new how far down it needs to be. I'm replacing the needle bearings in the back of the hubs and it looks like the last seals were not on far enough and the hub tore them up....

For what it's worth I have been feeling a bit of a tug for 3 weeks. That's about 150 miles or 5 times driving. Installed new sway bar damper.

Pulling into the driveway the heard a ting, and look to find the inner seal of the hub spinning on the stub shaft!

An exploded view of this front end hub/bearing/brake assembly?

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Front Tire Wear On Both Outer Edges

I have am 01 6.8 two wheel Limited. about 150K. My question is about both the front tires having more wear on both the inner and outer edges. The inner is a bit more but not by much.

I have been keeping very close track of my air pressure because I know the usual suspect is low air pressure but I am running 75psi and the max sidewall reads 80psi. I have never had it below 72psi. The truck tracks and steers down the road very nice with no drift or pull to either side. wheel balance is good.

Front end align is good. I have no issues with how she drives down the road. Everything seems to be checking out to be in spec..?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Blowing Through Outer Axle Seals?

So my outer axle seal went out on the passenger side again after only 4,000 miles. What gives!? I can't figure out why its burning up. My hubs seem to be working correctly. I've only used the 4wd a hand full of times since I replaced it. Any thoughts?

Can I re-use this shaft or is that ring around it no good. The ring is around where the bearing sits. It is a circumferential hump all the way around.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 F350 Rattles On Rough Roads / Front Outer Axle Rebuild

I am getting ready to put new axle shaft u-joints in my 2008 F350 (they are shot, they actually rattle on my rough roads). While I am at it I figure I will grease the front wheel brg cartridge, replace the needle brg that is inside the cartridge. I am also afraid I will the axle shaft vacuum seal. I don't want to go to ford an get raped, diesel O-rings doesn't have parts for the newer pickups and I don't want to get junk from the parts houses. Where I can get these parts for a reasonable price? What the best brands are? Are they the same parts as the earlier super duties? I know the lock out is different.

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Will Different Tire Tread Depth Hurt Rear Axle?

Proud new owner of a 2001 Excursion with 7.3. The gentleman I bought the X from had four Michelin LTX M/S2's. 285/75/R16. Looks like they had plenty of tread left so I was happy, until I got home and noticed a large slice in the side wall of the right rear.( approx 2" long and 1/4"deep.). I will be towing a 8000 lb trailer with three kids. Went to big tire store and they replaced one tire. They said it would be fine with different depth. (Exact same tire). When I got home I looked at tread, has noticeable difference in depth. Looks like 3.5MM diff from what I measured. My question is this, will this be ok or will this possible damage the rear end having slightly diff overall size?

Ford Excursion :: 2005 - Passenger Outer Tie Rod Is Shot / Loose And Won't Tighten

Had the Ex inspected and the passenger outer tie rod is shot. It's loose and won't tighten. I was told I needed an outer tie rod. I feel like this is something I can do, but my question is what else should I replace? While I'm in there I might as well replace whatever may also be worn (or wearing). So what all do I need to replace?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Replacing Rear Block - Axle Won't Separate From Leaf Springs?

I decided to go ahead and do a rear block replacement. I'm going to install the Ready lift 4 inch blocks.

I have both u bolts and nuts off of both sides. Rear stabilizer bar disconnected and both shocks disconnected. However, when I raise the rear of the truck, the axle raises as well. What could be holding it on still? I noticed there's a nut in the middle of the leaf springs. Do I take that nut off? I just don't know what could be keeping it from separating.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Knocking / Clunking Sound After Replacing CV Axle?

I replaced the drivers side CV axle due to the fact my wife and I both heard the famous clicking sound when turning left, I inspected the CV axle and it looked to be in good shape, no tears or rips but I replaced it anyways and now I am hearing and feeling a knocking sound (seems to be coming from the inner shaft, but not positive) when I am driving. It is also vibrating the steering wheel.

Ford Excursion :: Axle Alignment Procedure?

I had additional springs added to the front axle by a shop that I would not now trust to work on a tricycle.

The front axle was installed at an angle.

Is there a recommended procedure to align the axle? The two ideas I can guess at is to find a centerpoint on the body or frame and use that as an alignment point like one would align a trailer axle to the hitch or to assume the spring mounting points are precise enough to just center the axle between the two on each side.

Ford Excursion :: Front Axle Leaking?

Noticed some spotting in front of the house, and saw some leaking coming from the driver side near the axle. I'm guessing it's the axle seal leaking. I recently switched in to 4x4 about a week ago, shortly after that I noticed the leak. I have a trip to San Antonio coming up in the middle of Feb, about a 650 mile round trip. Can I continue with the plans and get it fixed afterwards?

Ford Excursion :: Rubber Seal Near Axle Joint?

I unstuck my front axles yesterday and while under the car spinning the front axles freely and enjoying my easy fix, I noticed a rubber seal (a thick squared edge round rubber seal) sitting loose and spinning freely. Its next to the axle joint, right before it disappears into the housing.

I'm guessing this is a dust seal of some kind. There is no fluid leaking out...

I'm wondering if I can just press fit this thing back into place or do I have to take the whole front wheel assembly (hub, bearing, axle, etc) to get the seal back into place.

I'm wondering if it broke off from a larger seal or if this is the whole thing? You can see how the seal isn't sitting quite straight. It actually just spins around.

Ford Excursion :: Front Axle Shaft U-Joints Won't Come Apart

its a 2000 limited 4x4, must have been in the snow a lot because it was from up north and is pretty rusty on the underside. my dad and i have tried everything to get these caps off but nothing will work. lots of pb blaster, hammering, even cutting the one of the four joints and trying to wedge something from the inside. If we cant get it could a shop do it? and how much might they charge?

Ford Excursion :: Front Axle Gears Removal

Well the old ball ball joints are out, new ones are in and now I'm working on removing gear assembly so I can change the inner axle seals. I've been trying to get it out. It haven't had much luck. I've loosened the cap bolts, prayed, pulled, hit, and still no luck. The only thing I've been successful at is screwing up the first few threads of the bolt holes for the passenger side cap. Tomorrow I'll be getting a tap and chasing the threads to clean them up. Hope I haven't screwed it up too bad. How to get the gear assembly out?

Ford Excursion :: Slight Leak Just At The Axle By The U-Joints

Our axle seal went out 2500 Miles ago. Its a light leak and just wets the axle by the U-Joints. Also our 4x4 hubs don't kick into action when they should. I have to put them in Lock to get them to work. That may be why the axle seal went out, because I just leave it in lock then drive thousands of highway miles. (I don't do that anymore now that I know what I was doing) Maybe the vacuum isn't working. Could they have anything to do with each other? I don't think they do. I'm not sure how the vacuum works. Maybe I just need to service the Hub? I watched a video on it that made it seem like cake. New hubs crazy expensive!

I bought my first X a month or so ago and I am looking into replacing the suspension. Truck has around 250K on it and I doubt the suspension has ever been touched.

I am not looking to lift it a lot just wanting a nice smooth, comfortable ride.
